About Us

Flamenk Fit was created by two talented performers in the fields of flamenco art and fitness. For a long time, they had been developing the idea of combining both concepts—fitness and flamenco—into a unique, original, and fun discipline.

Aware that many musical trends were already being integrated into the fitness world—an industry that continues to grow—Vanessa Cerallo and Adolfo Herrera realized they had the opportunity to create a similar concept, but one distinguished by the art form they both practice and teach.
